Comedian Babatunde Aléshé chooses his most memorable songs in Tracks of My Years.

Comedian, writer, actor Babatunde Aléshé goes on a ten-song musical journey in Tracks of My Years. Plus, there's the music quiz Ten to the Top and the Album of the Week.

Award-winning comedian, writer, actor and podcaster Babatunde Aléshé starts his musical journey, choosing some of his favourite songs in Tracks of My Years.

One of the fastest rising stars in British Comedy, he came to widespread attention in series 22 of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here, being eliminated fifth in the series won by Jill Scott.

But he's been appearing on TV long before heading to the jungle, with acting appearances in the likes of Waking the Dead, Doctor Who and EastEnders. He's also starred alongside his friend Mo Gilligan in Celebrity Gogglebox, and last year Babatunde’s Mission Imagination podcast won a prestigious ARIA Award.

Babatunde's recently added more dates to his debut tour, titled Babatunde Aléshé: Babahood, with gigs from December right through to February.

His next two tracks are from Skee-Lo and Mark Morrison 

Plus, Vernon has the mid-morning music quiz Ten to the Top, a brand new Record and Album of the Week, and we go diving into the archives for Vernon's Vault.
